The returns could come from a Windows browser (\r\n) or a Mac browser (\r)
or a Linux browser (\n)

You first need to get them to all be the "same":

$body = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $body);
$body = str_replace("\r", "\n", $body);
//Note that the order of the two statements is crucial

//You now have all Linux (\n) newlines.

If you are using Linux for your outgoing mail server, you are done.

If you are using Windows for your mail server, you probably need \r\n for
outgoing email:
$body = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $body);

If you are using Mac, you probably need \r:
$body = str_replace("\n", "\r", $body);


Aside:
Some days I just wanna shoot the guys who made up these different newline
formats...
